You may have seen the story that ran on KRBC on Monday when I spoke to doctors about the issue of not seeking medical treatment when they need it.
One thing Abilene Regional Medical Center ER doctor, Beau McCrory, said about the symptoms people often ignore is that one of the most disregarded symptom is chest pain.
As you may have heard, heart disease is the number one killer of Americans which is why Dr. McCrory says chest pains are nothing to ignore.
Dr. McCrory says chest pains don't always mean heart problems. But if they do, and you put off getting medical treatment, it could lead to a more serious problem later on, or even death.
